LOL you should check out my blog if you think these are tough. It's like there is some secret super virus on the internet changing all the captcha to impossible mode. Soon, the entire internet will fall. |

Here's the problem with that... users register for the event, then change their alias on Battle.net, thus being assigned a new character #. For security reasons, once someone signs up, we don't allow them to change their alias / information (this protects the players), and requires an admin to make a change should one occur. With a ton of players signed up, even if an admin handles EVERY request in an extremely timely manner, there's still a chance a player's information may not be updated before their next match.
The Real ID never changes, and is independent of character name or ID #. Thus, we've instituted the Real ID as the only identifier of the player for the event.
We've tried both ways in the past, and the Real ID works far and away much better than alternative methods. |

| strangely enough character name + ID seems to work for all other tournaments. You cite security reasons for not being able to change the character ID, but exposing the Real ID of the players is more secure? Last edit: 2012-07-19 04:33:45 |

| With diablo 3 coming out I think everyone has an authenticator tied to their account, so sharing the realID on the webz now has little to no significance. |
